it will cost you more money to swap out to the areo look than it would to sell the car and buy an aero car, seriously. If you have a $2500 86, it will cost more in paint than the cost of a $3000 87

Then sell the 86 and buy a 87+. Don't convert it, 90% of the time it looks like *** and is a hack job.

Didn't we just have this same question a few days ago? Didn't I give the exact same answer? Ok, just checking.
